In addition to Moore going to ground in an unusual way (sliding on his knees), the other two things in Kossie's defence are that 1) he tries to soccer the ball off the ground; and 2) he does not look at Moore.

Two other points about this incident.

1. Kossie only took one step after Moore elected to slide (and he was at near top speed so he could not deviate). This meant that impact was inevitable.

2. The ball bobbles back to Moore at the last bounce, which meant that Kossie misses the ball with his kick off the ground attempt.

    I thought the Weideman decision was wrong at the time. 

    Players sliding in like that are leaving themselves open.

    But I don't see why lifting your arm to protect your ribs and shoulder is dirty.

    If you wanted to protect your ribs, you'd keep your arm tucked in wouldn't you?

    I don’t understand how that can even be thought of as a suspension?

    He had eyes on the ball and was trying to soccer it. Moore went to ground and that was the reason his head was hit.

    If that’s a suspension the AFL have lost control of the game

    No because the rib cage goes around your body and is not just on your side. 

    The belief that you are less likely to cause concussions from not bracing is false. If you hit someone in the head at full speed, it doesn’t matter (to the player hit in the head) if you’re arm is straight or parallel to the ground.

    'They had a ton out'? DeGoey and Mihocek. Mitchell is cooked and McStay is bang average.  Who else? We had 5 AA superstars missing,  Windsor,Sparrow and Spargo. That's forgetting about Brayshaw and Smith who weren't able to replace. Sorry, no comparison. 

    DeGoey, Mihocek and McStay (last years final) are precisely the players that have caused us troubles in recent meetings.

    Yeah we had more out, but they weren’t exactly at full strength, and played a number of inexperienced players.

     Not really. 2024 will start with Kozzi on the sidelines just like 2023

    Maybe he will, but to be suspended for going for the ball is a joke. The AFL have lost the plot due to legal actions against them.

    houston was worthy of suspension as he wasn’t going for the ball, this is not.

    He deviates off his line and steps into the bump. He's gone for 3.

    Was disappointed MFC didn’t give Maynard more aggro when he went for Kozzy - Milkshake only one that intervened. Perfect chance to drive him headfirst into the fence went missing!

    Urghhhh he’s in trouble just from the very last action as far as I can see.
     

    Yes Moore ducks at the last second but if you watch the replay, Moore continues at the ball but kozzie pivots direction on his left foot away from the ball and towards Moore and ends up going across him.
     

    If he continued to run in the direction of the ball, he would’ve had a chance to argue it was more of a ‘collision’ rather than a hit to Moore. The argument will be that Kozzie initiated the contact when he had another option, not change direction and instigate contact first.

    Reverse the jumpers and make it a prelim final though and we would not have the same outcome in terms of weeks. Would be ‘nah the Melbourne player dropped his knees, it was his fault’ 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

    ... and don't forget Premiership player Minivan, who will almost certainly be playing finals this year, unlike his ex team mates.  😀

    PS when I re read this post I was going to correct the autocorrect, but ... no, why?   Probably a reasonable alternative spelling.

    Thanks.

     

    You are reminding me once again of one of my big hobby horses.   Players who lead with their heads into a contest need to be penalised every time, to break the habit instead of their neck.

    He deviates towards the ball and tries to kick it off the ground and braces after Moore unexpectedly slid into the contest.

    If Moore had have got to the ball earlier and attacked the ball in that manner, Kossie would have got a free kick for taking his legs out.

    We had way more inexperienced players on the park. Pies just about the oldest in the league. One could mount an argument that they were anywhere near affected by injury like us. We had close to 10 first team players out to their 3. Not even close. Because McStay caused us trouble in one game means little. Cox destroyed Richmond in the 2018 prelim. Both he and McStay are average players. DeGoey was indeed a miss. As the late and great Ron Barrasi was oft quoted " there were reasons why we lost, not excuses".

    I think he’ll get 3 unfortunately. He doesn’t deserve 3, he should get off, but  we all know the AFL too well.

    Great opportunity for McAdam to have a really strong pre-season and play his role for the first few weeks.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
